// MAC APP

Menu bar

The Omna menu bar — the **O** icon in your Mac's status bar — is mission control for the desktop app. It shows your lifetime token savings, live indexing progress across every watched folder, and the handful of settings you'll actually touch. Click the icon any time to open it.

Token stats

The top block is your lifetime impact since install — it counts up permanently and survives restarts:

  • Token tax intercepted — cumulative tokens trimmed across every slice.
  • ~$ on API · ~N extra prompts — the estimated API cost of those trimmed tokens, and roughly how many additional prompts that would have paid for.
  • Files sliced — total file drops processed, plus when the last slice happened.

Indexing status

The next block shows the background indexer's progress. A summary line (Index: 12 / 45 · indexing) sits above a per-folder breakdown, where each watched folder shows its state — ✓ done, indexing…, or queued — and its row counts. This is where you watch a large file finish, e.g. "NYC Taxi indexing… 2.1M / 3.95M rows · 53%."

From here you can also Add files or folders… (⌘O) or Pause indexing (⌘.).

Quick toggles

Three switches live right in the menu:

  • 🛡 PII Masking — when on, Omna replaces personal information with placeholders before sliced data reaches the AI; when off, raw data is sent. Default: on.
  • 🐢 Low-power mode — caps indexing at 30% of your cores (instead of half) for battery or heavy-workload situations. Takes effect on next launch. Default: off.
  • ☑ Launch at login — starts Omna automatically when you log in. Recommended: on.
  • Preferences… (⌘,) — manage watched folders and settings.
  • Open log — view the activity log.
  • Reveal data folder — open ~/Library/Application Support/Omna/ in Finder.
  • Quit Omna (⌘Q) — all processes exit cleanly; your index, stats, and settings persist for next time.

Data and uninstall

Omna's indexes, stats, and settings live at ~/Library/Application Support/Omna/. Reopening Omna resumes indexing from where it left off, without reprocessing. Uninstalling the app (drag Omna.app to Trash) leaves that folder in place — delete it manually if you want a completely clean removal.
